There are 3 methods for determining the MWB (1.1.M.27) for CCB. The method to use depends on the number of children in the type of care, and on whether the individual's ATI exceeds the upper income threshold (1.1.I.70).
The following table shows the amounts to use for method 1, where there are 2 or 3 children in care and the family's ATI is below the upper income threshold:
